Contact Us ‘Straight Outta Compton,’ the N.W.A biopic, hasn’t even been released yet and it’s already causing quite a stir. According to TMZ, the company responsible for casting the forthcoming film, Sande Allesi Casting, put out an ad seeking talent and the results are offensive and even racist to say the least.
